Nuclear Structure Aspects of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
B. A. Brown, M. Horoi, R. A. Sen'kov
We decompose the neutrinoless double-beta decay matrix elements into sums of products over the intermediate nucleus with two less nucleons. We find that the sum is dominated by the…
Large low-energy strength for Fe within the nuclear shell model
B. Alex Brown, A. C. Larsen
A strong enhancement at low -ray energies has recently been discovered in the -ray strength function of Fe. In this work, we have for the first time obtained theore…
The role of excited states in rp-process for sd shell nuclei
J. Grineviciute, B. A. Brown, H. Schatz
We investigate the importance of proton capture on low-lying excited states that are thermally excited in hot stellar environments. In addition to the previously known case of $^{3…
Thermonuclear 42Ti(p,gamma)43V rate in type I X-ray bursts
J. J. He, A. Parikh, B. A. Brown +5
The thermonuclear rate of the Ti(,)V reaction has been reevaluated based on a recent precise proton separation energy measurement of (V)=8343 k…
Benchmarking nuclear models for Gamow-Teller response
E. Litvinova, B. A. Brown, D. -L. Fang +2
A comparative study of the nuclear Gamow-Teller response (GTR) within conceptually different state-of-the-art approaches is presented. Three nuclear microscopic models are consider…
Neutrinoless double- decay of Se in the shell model: beyond closure approximation
R. A. Sen'kov, M. Horoi, B. A. Brown
We recently proposed a new method to calculate the standard nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double- decay () of Ca going beyond the closure approximation…
